How Scarlett Johansson Trained To Become Black Widow | Movies Insider

- Scarlett Johansson has portrayed the character Black Widow for over a decade in Marvel’s MCU films. To get in shape for this role (and stay in shape), she works with her personal trainer, Eric Johnson, who has been helping her train since 2009.
To prepare for the role, Johnson focused on building strength and functional movement. They treated it like an athlete preparing for competition. Johansson says that before accepting the role in Marvel's Avengers movies she had never stepped foot in a gym, but that now she is stronger than she was 10 years ago.
None of this was a quick fix for Johansson, though - it took time to build her strength and fitness for the role.
Johnson split her training into three phases, each lasting three to 12 weeks. Phase one focuses on explosive swinging and plyometric movements to improve her reflexes and agility. The second phase is strength training, performing exercises like pull-ups and squats. And the third and final phase is about getting lean, implementing explosive cardio like sprinting and battle ropes.
In order for Johansson to build muscle, it was important that she consumed enough calories and protein, but Johnson says that he made sure that her diet was flexible. They still drank beers and had cake from time to time. Johnson says that it's important to still be able to enjoy life (even when on an intense exercise program).

How Scarlett Johansson Trained To Become Black Widow | Movies Insider - Zábava
This mans attitude is exactly how everyone needs to be with fitness and eating. Be healthy, but don’t forget to live. That’s what you’re trying to be healthy for!
Black Widow is a character who has great fighting skills, so in my opinion Scarlett Johansson has literally got the hardest character, and as we can see she has done an amazing job she amazes me every time ❤️
absolutely agreed. personally i feel like natasha is a combination of all the fighting skills we see in the avengers. she requires a lot of training. hats off to scarlet , that woman is amazing
@@mili4725 yeah and she's one of the only characters who can't rely on CGI or cool bodysuit for powers. It's all her
i always amazed of how fit she was as black widow, so i'm really looking forward to her training practice like this.
this is the type of personal trainer (or perhaps fitness influencer) we all need. it is nice how he stresses that it is more important that you are stronger and can apply that strength to real situations, not just looking in a specific way. plus, he's right: besides from all the training, you need to enjoy your life, too.
This is how fitness should be, focusing on functionality and practicality more than physical appearance. You may be lifting weights and looking ripped or thick af but it doesn’t contribute much towards your daily life other than looking good.
I like how these trainers look like normal people.
They look normal, but they could probably throw another person like a basketball without breaking a sweat. Like the video mentions, the muscular aesthetics and actual strength are separate work.
What does that mean lol How else would they look 🤔
@@skinsey85 Like on steroids type of look I guess...
They always have incredible posture.
They should wear the capes and superman underwear 100% of the time you mean?
I wish I could afford these professionals. I’d finally feel like the best looking person in the world
Don’t tell me you didn’t try to do the pistol squat.
Yea and i fell lol
Thought about it man.
They expected us to do pistol squats in middle and high school 😅 I never succeeded
did it 😌
Younger me completely obsessing over her cause she’s really pretty, as you do. And yet I still thought I was straight...
🤣🤣 😭
same
i am straight and still think shes a fox
@@katrin6388 wtf
You can still think a woman is extremely stunning but be straight. I hate when people automatically assume you’re gay just because you called another human of the same gender beautiful
1:09 I can't stop replaying because it's so satisfying...
This was surprisingly informative for women's fitness. Thanks EJ & MJ for all the fitness tips and examples!👍
Scarlett Johansson
agreed
@@sonicandroxas ever since she lost her massive melons yea.
@@KrisPBacon damn that's tough
@@KrisPBacon wut
@@user-vi4xy1jw7e she had breast reduction surgery to reduce their size. They used to be bigger, not but I didnt mean to say she's ugly without big boobs lol.
Who agrees, Scarlett Johansson is one beautiful looking lady..!! 😍😍😍😍😍
We can confidently say that she is the most beautiful woman in existence
He doesn’t have the “typical” body as a trainer & I like it!
What do you mean by typical body? Lol
@@user-vi4xy1jw7e More pronounced/ somewhat exaggerated proportions. My S/O is in the army, but he's also a bodybuilder. He spends hours in the gym and Arnold is one of his role models. He wanted to become a personal trainer and tried to train me, but I'm permanently disabled from a car accident and require very specific exercises.
At times, he can be a bit excessive with diet and lifestyle. It's great for his dreams and goals, but sometimes it can make working out with him intimidating and unrealistic. My physical therapists don't have extremely pronounced physiques, but they're in shape and extremely knowledgeable on alternative ways to build strength in the body. I know that the exercises I learned in PT can be applied to real life functionality- not just a deadlift atthe gym.
I think the biggest reason why some people may have problems with personal trainers is that intimidation factor. Their body feels unreachable to you, and it is a disconnect from the overall workout experience. I hope that makes sense.
Have a nice day. :)
This was amazing. I love her so much (: her personality is so beautiful. I'm amazed at her for training so hard. The trainer did a great job ^~^
i came to see her workout lol
And I just came to watch her workout lol
@@ambege3942 same thing right?
I love being active and I was curious about the training process since, obviously, she's awesome. Cool to see the process, and this was also inspiring! Glad I found it.
andrew garfield i havent heard that name in a long time
@thatguy 00 tf he and tobey was the best spider man
Ever since Spiderman and after he cheated on Emma Stone, it really impacted his career, although he did have good movies, he stayed low key.
Oh ive been waiting for this one!
I want to try that!!
WOW, I think the workout could get the actors in shape for the Marvel movies.
Really FASCINANT, accion and beauty .... wonderful movie
pleasantly surprised by jonathan groff
I don’t know how they were there and what they trained, but Scarlett Johansson’s figure turned out to be cool. 😍😍😍
I love how I’m in love with her yet she got the role in the year I was born 👁👄👁
I was born in 2006 so we are three years apart
I born 2007
More like how I get in shape for December first to fight with Johansson in my fantasies 😂😂😂
omg this looks like so much fun
I love her! 😻💙👑
hi 🙋♀️ this is really good 😌
Love it
Happy Thanksgiving.
LMAOOO I'M WHEEZING 😂😂😂
She was suited for this movie
Why is there so many people named eric Johnson
Who are the others?
Personally speaking, saying "eric johnson" in my native language has the name coming effortlessly off the tongue. No hard stops, no difficult transitions from one word to another. The posture of the tongue/mouth finishing off the "c" blends well into starting the "j". It has a good rhythm pattern, too.
But that's an engineer-style answer. Maybe it's a popular combination for more subjective reasons. ;)
@@hamburgerkiddo3319 famous guitarost and my teacher
Badass
245 punds is about 111 kg
And she’s only 1.60m! I was like “i can deadlift that” but then I realised Im 20cm taller than her 😂
Lol most of us haven’t watched this yet
I loveee nat
love her!
i like how megatron said interesting when this was made 3 mins ago and it is 6 mins long nice job bud
4:04 why my dude standing like that
wait yeah wtf i didnt notice that
Some people have knees that do that, runs in my family
My knees are like that, I try straightening them so people wouldn't stare at them
COOL
Dear God.. I am a die hard JONATHAN GROFF fan. I was not even searching this..
Imagine not only training Scarlett johansson but getting knee'd in the face by her too...this dude won at life lol
“Get in shape” what you mean? She was like 20.
Not "Black Widow shape" tho
Are you saying the average 20 yr old 5' 3" woman can deadlift 245 pounds without training?
@@NaomiTCOOKIES
Really?
She is what on the screen as she is off?
We had to wait so long to get a Black Widow movie because they had to train Scarlet Johansson to film instead of Iron man where they probably just put an already trained stuntman in the suit and then had Robert Downey jr record his lines.
A year is still pretty fast
Justice for jhonny
I just love how they dropped this on Thanksgiving. Making me feel bad on the one day when I should be able to eat anything.
dayum.
Ok.
1:51 is that her?!
She's kinda different..
No. Lmao
This guy should have taught her to play cliffs of Dover🤣
who clicked bc they want Scarlett Johansson's body :0
.
Go to horny jail.
@@DToufu i didn't mean like in an old man perverted way???? don't you wish you were as fit as she is?
@@by7303 Oh so thats what you meant lol.
Wow, the diet is so different.
Ski jumps,

A Goddess doesn't need to get in shape... she ready is.
Thank you for the video. Have a great day.
Now I'm searching the internet for shirtless pics of Eric. Any leads?

Can we do self defense after this????
I have the same question
@@sreekuttan9923 then what should we do?😀
@@blinkwithluv21 no idea ☹️
@@sreekuttan9923 🤕
For some reason i dont believe Scarlet Johansen did any of her stuns herself. There was this scene ive seen her run like a grandma. Dont remember which movie tho
Where to watch ? only on theatre ? 😂😂😂
Gyms are closed😭
who y’all did the pistol 🔫 squat and failed? 😂
who is ur Favorite Marvel characters??
Comment down...
Mine is IRON MAN 😍
There are a lot
@@arunarvind7195 Mine is Wonder Woman
@@arunarvind7195 but if u have to choose any one
Literally anyone then?
@@SUPERNOVA0360 you're joking right?
@@stas7378 No, am I not allowed to like a female Marvel hero?
She must do all the work herself instead of a stunt person.
*B A N A N A*
this dude might have the answers to herniated discs
I'd totally let her-
(add anything here)
Die if I had my dogs on the line
Step on me?
Leg twists me
But he wasn’t her trainer for Iron Man 2 so he didn’t take her from never lifting to 245 deadlift 😒
doesn’t she have a double for most of the stunts?
Yes
She does have a double - they all do - but she's an actor who does as much as she's able to and still allowed to do by insurance and producers. She still needs to be in shape for the role, even if she's not allowed to do some of the stunts.
We all know why we clicked on this
Cause he's far
Why
umm I don't see anything wrong with this video
@@Local_commentor ???
@@SUPERNOVA0360 what it's a good informative behind the scenes video
She made me question my sexuality
I was 67 liker 🤗
None of anything he said is true
Ya focus on functionality until you are hot enough to focus on your own look lol
Whoever reading this comment may you have a blessed life full of happiness with your lovely family and may you succeed in your every good aim.. I am also doing much hard work for my food channel but I am getting sad now because I am not getting much response I don't want to become hopeless,,,, 😭
Sup
What exactly is so impressive about a 245 lbs deadlift?
What do you deadlift 500lbs
@@xoxira 200 lbs, and I just do regular group fitness classes, no fancy personal trainer or a strength training regimen. I'd expect her to lift far more than me after all the effort they've put in. Honestly, a rope climb is more impressive to me than what they chose to highlight😁
It's not like Scarlett is huge - she's 5'3 and she doesn't bulk up with packing on muscle, she keeps a much leaner shape. Brie Larson is 5'7 and she does a lot more weight work. Part of it is different requirements for the roles and where/how to have that strength. It probably wouldn't be beneficial for SJ to deadlift more than that, whereas BL can move her trainer's Jeep.
Deadlift 245? Wtff
when I was in football for high school I only lifted 150 my own weight but yet again I was just the replacement QB
THICCCC
So early here
What to say!!!
😉
@@SharmaJi-jp2yn btw Indian?
@@StaryAK yeahh nd u?
@@SharmaJi-jp2yn I'm too an Indian 😍🇮🇳
@@StaryAK Same! 😅
Have to wonder how much of this is necessary, when all the hard work done by stunt woman🤔
I don't care how she gets in shape. Show me a 60 yo getting in shape

A scrawny soccer player in 25 years?

Yep. As we know it is not a real sport. "Oh you got to close to me I am going to fall down"

Is he in shape or does he just have muscles?
@@Otisbear480 not sure but he definitely has muscles.
They are fake
What
Wish she was single
Not like you’d have a chance lol
she has a double
She has married three times to 3 different men
Ok?
Ur point?
Ok and?
Not so hot without all that make-up, lighting & angles
It’s all performed by stunt people, c’mon!
*_Who else cringed?!_* 😂😂😂
👇
*Your girlfriend.*
_Nope. I was wrong, your crush._
lol female super hero’s just need a treadmill and a decent diet
I hate that. I want female heroes to be muscular. That’s why I didn’t like Wonder Woman. It just looked like some regular girl in a costume
@@milk5002 do you even know how hard gal gadot had to train for that role?
she gets in shape by letting her stunt double and wire work do everything for her. all she has to do is squeeze herself into a tight black outfit.
Deadass
Not really scarlett worked really hard
lol, that's what I was thinking. I think the clips were of the stunt double.
And all the black people say who is Scarlett Johansson?
Nah fr tho, is she like storm but ugly
